Over the weekend with Manske, he seemed to be too nonchalant in his appearance.

But for 17 weeks every year, the on-air voices are the same.<BR/><BR/>With multiple crew chiefs and multiple drivers working for the same network already, it might be a good idea.<BR/><BR/>Regardless, I hope they find a spot for Ricky Craven.

Randy for the comic relief alone. They offer more than Boris and Brad. <BR/><BR/>Boris doesn't race enough to offer an informed opinion, and Brad? What can one say? I'm hoping his being a full time Cup owner will keep him busy next season. We already have Ray as the "owner" on the show. He also has CC experience.<BR/><BR/>I am truly hoping ESPN will make our TV viewing better next season.

Nobody looked back into the past like Kyle Busch at Talladega in April, Johnny Benson at Daytona in the Trucks, Dale Jr. &amp; Matt Kenseth in 03 and question how those controversies were different from this one. If there were conflicting views on the topic, the show would have been more interesting. Instead, everyone in the media is backing NASCAR and covering up some questions from the fans that are still not answered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-41998251721522039032008-10-06T19:37:00.000-04:002008-10-06T19:37:00.000-04:00I enjoyed seeing Ricky on NASCAR Now tonight and ...I enjoyed seeing Ricky on NASCAR Now tonight and he is a joy to listne to.
